Play as Cuphead or Mugman (in single player or local co-op) as you traverse strange worlds, acquire new weapons, learn powerful super moves, and discover hidden secrets while you try to pay your debt back to the devil!
I played it until the King of Bets, This guy was too much for me. I give up. I am tired. But hell I had a lot of fun. The look the sound everthing cool and yes it is a really hard game, not everbody likes challenges like this.
Thanks for the time.

The game is a solid platformer. Graphics, soundtrack and sounds overall are soberb, gameplay is really smooth and adictive. So, why not 5 stars? This thing is not simply hard, it's so, so, so unforgiving! If you're more of a casual player like me, you'll be wondering why, why, why there are no checkpoints? If you only have one hour or two to play a game each day, this kind of stuff matters! Also, some items are way better than others to the point the feature becomes a nuisance. For instance, the Smoking Bomb is so better than the others that I could'nt help but wanting there was a second slot for the other charms.
Anyway, I do recommend the game and, even though I'm complaining that the game is too hard, I'm over many, many hours and more than 100% of the game completed (meaning I've got to the end and kept playing, beating things on Expert). It's just I wish I could play this game and something else, but if you want to get to the end you may have to prioritize... Sometimes I feel I have no more fingers, but now I know that, although unlikely, beating the Devil in his Cassino is possible...
I grew up with SEGA and loads of 2D games but ever since games became 3D, I barely played any 2D games at all since then. I saw a gameplay of some but was never interested in picking them up.
However, when Cuphead came out, I was astonished and it was one of the very first few games that I got when I bought a PC for myself. And boy, oh boy, did I enjoy playing the game.
The soundtrack is top-notch, the boss and run & gun levels were challenging but yet compelling enough for me to give it one try after another. And it took a while for me to complete the game but I really enjoyed it. Cuphead is not the kind of the game I was mad at for losing because I could clearly see how I got hit and what hit me - it is a fair game. Also, it was way easier for me to play the game with a controller, so you may consider picking one up too.
If you're up for a challenge, love 30s animation cartoons, heartwarming jazz music and want to have fun, then this game is surely for you!
*Clapping with 1930 gloves* Absolutely a masterpiece. The notorious and well-done handwork matches perfectly with the music of every level. It feels like playing a classic cartoon.
After a bunches of kicks in the arse and complete some levels, you take a pretty enjoyable experience and a bit, just a bit rage with your self.
